THIS WEEK'S SPONSOR

 

Current Issue
Spring 2006
Volume II, Issue 3


 

What's New (and Old)?
Do you consider yourself an old school crafter or a trendy one?  Use DPNs or 2 circulars?  Software or graph paper?  Vintage or fads?

In our summer issue, we're focusing on both traditional and the more trendy needlecraft methods and accessories.  Tell us your story -- what you use and how you do it -- and you could be featured.


Blog of the Week


Stitches...words...images...1 dog...and don't forget kneezilla.  Isis Rising shares it all!
 


Book Nook
True to my heart, this book speaks to the truth of glamazon girls -- our boobs, belly, and butt. You get excellent tips on how to measure yourself. (Guess what? I'm really not the size 5x I've been buying in men's clothes!)
